Summary
“Harry, I-I’m so sorry…” Louis stutters out, trying to keep his voice level and even, to portray a depiction of strength, but with the way Harry is looking at him, staring at him like he has a personal passage way straight to Louis’ soul, it’s so hard, nearly impossible.
That simple opening phrase, that short introductory acknowledgement that is often rushed out so easily, painlessly, at a safe distance. Giving a doctor the ability to portray empathy without true emotion, without feeling the full brunt and sheer force of the underlying pain itself.
But Louis feels it, he feels the crushing agony laced behind the phrase, he feels the weight of the painful words slipping from his lips, the cause and effect that the three-word expression holds. The distantly empty “I’m so sorry” that doctors throw out in self-preservation, isn’t at all empty for him. Louis recognizes it, he understands it, he feels it.

Summary
After the Civil War with Captain America, Tony is left permanently damaged. With the reactor intact, it had nearly killed him, and Steve had left him to die there.
Tony awakes to a world of responsibility, and a sudden awareness of the electricity surrounding him. With a growing family to defend and understand, an unwanted and confusing guest, and the struggles of two people falling in love and learning to live with disabilities; Tony Stark is overwhelmed. He intends to rise to the challenge, even if it means seeing Steve Rogers, the man who crushed his heart, again.
---
The shield slams down on his chest and Tony feels the impact before he even hears it. Agony rips through him so violently it steals every ounce of air from his lungs. The arc reactor is forced back into his chest, too deep now. Its whirring too fast and burning too hot; destroying the tissues underneath it and ripping apart the metal hollow meant to keep it from ripping into his organs.
He's dying.
